Beat all the card-giving content, so no Heroic for me for now. Had no trouble with the first two, Maexxna wrecked my Priest and Ramp Druid decks, switched to Zoo and won on Turn 5. Challenges were good fun as well.

Odd. It's just been completely empty for me but it shows that my friends are online. Anyone else?
You did click the "Friends" tab/arrow, right? By default it should have the actual list hidden I believe.
If you already did that, dunno then.

Do you guys have tips for getting to legend? I've hit rank 5 before last season but I couldn't climb, I just won one and lost one over and over.

Speaking of Eaglehorn, if it got changed, how come we're not getting full disenchant value from it like usual?

Blizzard's stupid response was "it wasn't much of a change".
Which is, again, very stupid.
Anyone played Arena post-Naxx and gotten unusually high amounts of dust? I rarely get any but the two runs I finished today gave me a lot (top two are today's). That's a tiny sample size so I'm wondering if anyone else noticed something. I wouldn't be surprised if they altered the chance to get a dust pack instead of one containing gold to make paying real money for Naxx more attractive.
I don't know about this. I'm still missing lots of epics and rares so I need to buy packs for cards and dust, blowing 700 gold on like 45 minutes of content (non heroic) and six cards seems a bit much to me. I've got 700 now for the next wing but my gold would essentially be locked up for the next couple months. Tell me what to do.

I don't play hunter really but it seems like a pretty significant nerf to the card. I wonder if this is going to be their new stance moving forward with card changes?
Naxx cards seem pretty strong, just saying. I'd wait it out and see if your favorite deck needs them, and then drop the gold.

Sell something you own (video games/blu-rays?) for $20 and buy the entire thing without spending gold. Spend the gold on arena or decks.
If spending money is an option you definitely get the better deal buying Naxx and spending the gold on packs (or Arenas if you're consistent enough). Or you could look over the rewards for each wing and skip the ones you think you can do without for now.
Win 30 games a day for that 100 extra daily gold.

Oh. I was just listening to what Kripp and other streamers said :/ Happy they'll fix it!
That requires a shitton of time though.

Yay, more dust!
Just played through normal mode with a Hunter deck and won pretty easily, before beating the class challenges first attempt too. Expecting it to step up when I try heroic later.
Funny/face palm moment when I completely forgot about the hero power of the 2nd boss and did the starving buzzard/unleash combo and had 9 cards in hand.

I think I understand the strength of the new rogue card anubar ambusher.
I was just using it to put a lot of pressure vs a priest (he used his first shadowword death on a 5/3 bloodsail raider). I didn't play any other minions and just kept hitting with a poisoned dagger. I even assassinated his first taunt. By turn 6 he was already down to 13-15 hp when he used auchenai + circle + hero power to finally clear my ambusher.
Behind the scenes I already accumulated another ambusher and a yeti and even a si7 agent I chose not to play because I felt the 5 damage per turn was enough pressure and playing more minions just walks into aoes or the deathrattle of ambusher. So I had an easy answer to the 3/1 and hit face with dagger to keep putting pressure after my ambusher died.
In short (TLDR): Ambusher is pretty solid as a single minion drop.
Other strengths have been buffing him with cold blood. Already had someone silence him to take him out which meant the deathrattle didn't impact me at all.

If it didn't have the Deathrattle, you wouldn't have worried as much about overextending and would've applied even more pressure to close out the game before the Priest could stabilize.
Its Deathrattle works both ways, by making it a less attractive target to kill on an empty field and making you less likely to press an advantage in case it backfires.

It seems like the reconnect feature is working better now. I dc'd mid match without even noticing it and it reconnected me in a matter of seconds... then I had to replay my turn lol. But it worked!
Also at the end of the match I dc'd but it claimed my game was recorded. When I reconnected it revealed I had gained stars and completed 2 quests so yeah, maybe this game is shaping up better.
Yep, the price of 1 attack.... then again I tend to be taking too much risk by over-extending, especially in a match that I often lose only when I over-extend anyway.
The downside being that it is harder to use my mana efficiently each turn while not making myself vulnerable to the deathrattle. Which is why on turn 5 I used assassinate rather than just using the ambusher and my weapon to take the senjin out. The assassinate was also extra justified because the priest coined powerword shield on it which would have made it absord 8 damage rather than just 5.

Overall, it just seems much more situational than Yeti, such that it doesn't seem worth the +1 attack. It's the sort of card you have to build your deck around but doesn't really reward you enough for doing so.
running one copy is amusing against freeze mage decks who are sitting at one health right after their iceblock pops

While not as technical or in depth, the few times I've used him, I've had a Farseer or an Agent on the board, and I've gotten multiple uses on their extra effects. The real question is if that those are more useful than having them on the board. Best case in that respect would be if they had already traded with something else so they'd get 'healed.'
I'll probably stick with him regardless because it adds some more thinking and effects in any rogue deck.
Edit: I'll also add, I'm looking forward to using him as a shadow step for Leeroy or something similar, but that is pretty situational.

I made this shaman deck today and this druid used poison seeds which actually increased my deadliness more than reducing it lol. He silenced my harvest golem over that new spider that spawns 2x 1/1s. Then used poison seeds and I dealt like 29 damage with blood fury and axe.
I actually do think he fits in more decks than I originally thought. Even in miracle because you aren't playing many minions you can drop him on an empty board more often than not.

Swapped out my single Earthen Ring Farseer for a single Anub'ar Weblord; the ERF was generally yo help me stabilize against aggro and occasionally be 3 direct damage if I had an Auchenai in-play... But now I think the Weblord does more for me vs. aggro. Seems like it is slowing down Zoo a tiny bit... Just enough for me to win a bit more. Zoo is still crazy vs. Priest but the Weblord is a start. I want to find space for a second one.

Token paladin man.
So many token friendly minions in the first wing!
I am running token shaman atm. I didn't put that card in though, because I have blood fury to fall back on. I am not even running violet teacher.

You know you love the crazy gold guy :3
I'm gonna be a little salty if all the 'tricks' come to light after I suffered my way through those guys.
That's the challenge of the game to me. I took me about 20 tries with and about 10 differently tweaked decks to beat Maexx, but I beat her without checking for any tips online. Much more satisfying that way.
Of course, there are tricks for all of them.
Now that I know how to beat Maexx I can beat her reliably. Now if I could just get beyond level 15...

5600 gold... I for some reason feel that it's more worth it to wait until all of Naxx is released and then buy packs/do arena.
When opening decks, can you get golden version of Naxx cards or are they ONLY buyable with dust?

How much did I fuck this warrior up by putting two Nerub'ar Weblords on turn 1 and 2? He didn't do shit for 5 turns and I'm wondering if that's because of those Weblords...
How many warrior cards have battlecry early on?

lmao.... knife juggler hits my nerubian egg twice in a 1/16 chance of happening.
2 weblords on field vs aggro lock is funny.
